just noticed this on the Acorn site... a mini rando bag!  Very nice looking, MUSA and three colors.  http://www.acornbags.com/minirandobag.html

The small trunk sack is very nice but only comes in olive. I'd like one of those in grey but that fabric is no longer available.

Completely out of the blue as far as I knew came an e-mail an announcing this new "mini rando" style from Acorn. I ordered one this morning.

I'll post how it works with the Nitto Mini and Mark's Rack sometime in the next couple weeks.

I'm stoked!

Yours,

And it is sold out....maybe by xmas I can get one.  Not to be a hater but this site always reminds me of a fancy nightclub by my office, it is closed most of the time but people in the know show up when it is open and it is packed out the door....

Obviously quite similar to the Rivendell Li'l Loafer bags. I don't
know why, however, Rivendell insists on only supplying their bags in
tweed. There are many, including some in this Group, who don't like
(or detest) tweed bags.

I have one of the original Rivendell Nigel Smythe Li'l Loafer bags in
tan canvas. Its a keeper!

What about the green Sackville trunksack small, isnt it just the same thing with a different name? I was always partial to the grid grey though.

I have the canvas baggins edition of the li'l loafer on two bikes (one
with the old green raincover), and the main improvement I see in the
Acorn is the non-zippered access point on the main pocket. I don't
dislike tweed, but do prefer the tan canvas / brown leather style.

I regretably lost the matching baggins Keven's bag off the back of the
Atlantis to the proverbial Bicycle Thief last week. Cut the zipties
and made off with my kit, minipump, etc. I suspect he was after the
saddle, which was somewhat more effectively secured to the frame, and
he just took the bag as compensation for his efforts, the bastidge
(impotent fist shaking implied).

They are a small "cottage" industry.quality and craftmanship are superb. Demand always exceeds supply, so ask to be notified when a new batch will be offered, they are batched by color. You will receive a heads-up email and be prepared to buy quickly... They sell out in hours.

No Doubt. I knew the tan handlebar bags went on sale at 9 PST today.
Couldn't get to my computer until 12 PST. Gone. I'm bumbed.

I happened to be on the site this morning at *exactly* 9am snagging a medium saddlebag (one of my favorite bags and I wanted one for another bike).  I noted that the new mini rando bag mentioned was sold in less than a minute this morning so keep that in mind.  Most of the bags were, in fact, sold out in just a few minutes!
